An unresolved past erodes beauty in the present.

Pain is inevitable. It is actually a great opportunity for growth, but when we blame or fail to take responsibility for our suffering, the pain becomes stagnant, and stagnant pain can have a compounding effect if left unchecked.

One of my biggest lessons in life is, we heal at the speed of our forgiveness.

Stillness empowers. Being able to detach from all external stimulants - social media, social engagements, TV, alcohol, food, etc. - and face our own silence is an enormous luxury that should not be taken for granted. The most rewarding moments in my life have stemmed from such stillness.

For my lifestyle, I believe in living 10 times below my means. As a result of that, I have the luxury of working only when I'm inspired.

I'm not really volunteering for no family films. I really like the sweet spot of being able to be edgy and controversial.

If you are courageous enough to be still, you are a step closer to becoming empowered.
